chance figure free games people plus shoot students win
We figure 7 p.m., people can get there of all ages, they get to the Kohl Center, they see us play some games and have some fun, ... When most people see us only during a game, where it's more intense, and they get a chance to see everybody, plus we get some students out there. They shoot half-court shots, three-point shots, free throws, a chance to win some contests.

These young guys get to live in their moment. I don't know what people remember about Wisconsin or what people remember about Arizona. Everyone is in their own time warp.

We didn't move well, but when you do get a look you've got to make something happen. We had some drives to the basket where we shot some floaters - shots that I've never seen before. You can't get those back.

athletic happen quick
The thing we didn't want to have happen happened. You can't play from behind. It's very difficult. We are not as athletic or quick enough to play from behind.
amazing bring certain coach everybody filled forward guys learned pat picked pressure ready stepped teacher time
Sometimes that's a lot to ask, so I'm not going to pressure them into being at a certain stage. As a coach and a teacher I learned a long time ago you've got to bring them along, and then when they're ready they'll show what they can do. You push, you prod, you pat and you do the other things that everybody does in teaching, and it's amazing how our guys over the years have kind of stepped forward and picked up and filled that void.

Every player thinks he should win every game. They understand what competition is all about.
freshman good necessity needed played
Don't know yet. Sometimes it's out of necessity that you play a freshman right away. Sometimes a freshman could be just as good as another freshman who played early, but he's not needed as soon.
games job people position today
We did a much better job today than other games getting in position and getting people off their feet. That's how you get to the line, and then play with the lead.

There's not a lot of guys built like him, and he knows how to use his body. If the big man isn't scoring, he's not going to get the ball.
